The Game Awards this year saw plenty of surprises like Alan Wake 2 and Star Wars Eclipse but of the many titles that didn’t appear, the most surprising is certainly Bully 2. According to insider Tom Henderson, it was expected to be a “potential surprise reveal.”
“Bully 2 was expected as a potential surprise reveal at #TheGameAwards last week after some people have been shown some material alluding to a reveal soon. Information is a bit blurry at the moment, and I have to be quite vague here, but if I hear more I will report on it.” Henderson said in a follow-up tweet that, “Some people saw a ‘playable version’ just a couple of weeks prior to TGA (not the canned version).”
While Henderson couldn’t share any finer details, he felt that “It was worth reporting on as there’s something definitely ‘going on’ to do with the series.” This isn’t the first time that a follow-up to Rockstar’s acclaimed 2006 action adventure title was rumored to be in the works. But it’s interesting that there’s some kind of playable version out there, especially when the project was allegedly cancelled in 2017.
As such, Rockstar is rumored to be working on Grand Theft Auto 6 (which is allegedly facing development troubles) and a remaster for Red Dead Redemption 1. It also has Grand Theft Auto 5: Expanded and Enhanced Edition releasing in March 2022 for Xbox Series X/S and PS5. Could a new Bully really be happening? We’ll have to wait for more details in the coming days.

Like I said – Information is blurry atm. But I thought it was worth reporting on as there's something definitely "going on" to do with the series.
